Best free twice-monthly stand-up show

Every first and third Tuesday, this BYOB comedy show has hipsters spit-taking their PBRs. The creators—Cleveland Anderson, John Ambrose, Dan Wilcop, and Drew Frees, all of whom have close ties to The Shithole, another of Chicago’s DIY comedy gems—love to watch stand-up as much as they love to perform it, so they set out to produce the show they wanted to see, right in their own backyard. The vibe is laid back, with many patrons sitting on the floor, and the comedy consistently kills.
